Body Experiences..

Pain, Burning, Itching, Pricking, Piercing, Shooting, Aching and..

Normally everyone experiences all these in their body, maybe in various degrees. Some may have had it to the extremes. Excruciating pains caused due to accidents, operations, illness, chronic disease, cervical and lumbar spondylitis, arthritis and so on…

To forego or forgo these experiences is not easy at all. I have had all these experiences and still having some chronic pains in the body for last few decades.

My purpose of this Post is an attempt to share mine and for others to share their experiences here for all of us to know how to bear these body experiences and how could we forego them or lessen or abstain or even make an end to it.

I have few suggestions, as far as possible be away from pain killer tablets or least do not make them a habit at all. Slowly and steadily train the mind to accept. The mind is such, it listens to what you say and ask. People with chronic pains in body have done it and the body has listened to them. Look to animals got hurt; they care a hell, and in few days they are alright. We as pet lovers take extra care for their well being.

I have been quite lucky so far but my late father used to have terrible pain in his back from heavy work he done when he was younger and he used to wear something to tighten his back up to ease the pain. He was actually very strong because he must have been in more pain than he let on.

Oh Ma’am Lucile thanks .
Why it came into my mind was some people will be suffering with various types of pain but they would not be knowing what to do about it they may unnecessarily going round doctors and hospitals.
I only feel they take good use of this post.

Thanks Radhika you said it right. Just yesterday I was telling my daughter about the mind. It is like flour mixed in water, it takes whatever shape we give it. 🙂
Wishing you Good Health Always.
Hope you are having a nice Sunday

I agree, Shiva. I try to avoid painkillers at all times; I feel strongly that pain is a warning sign that we should always heed. Otherwise we can disguise pain and do further damage to those parts that are screaming out for our attention.

I agree with the Holistic approach and try to employ it whenever possible. I’ve tried to overcome or at least ease my arthritis, joint pains, stomach aches and headaches through exercise, Vitamin Therapy, eating more fruits and vegetables, Juicing and next year I plan to take part in Bikram Yoga classes taught by a co-worker.

In my case the joint pain and headaches are due to high blood pressure and having a very stressful job. I believe once I retire either in 2018 or 2019 many of my aches and pains will disappear. Sometimes I think to myself that the aches and pains can’t all be do to getting older and for me I think a good part of it is a hostile work environment. That’s why I’m looking forward to Retirement. Lord knows I need the rest and I need to take back control of my life. However because I still work I must take pain killers in order for me to perform my job. It would be nice to stay home in bed but that is not reality. I just try to limit the amount of pills. Hot baths with Epsom Salts is also good for headaches and joint pain.

Oh DeBorah you are one among the frankest women i have met.
I fully understand your plight. But still you have been in the right direction. Looking forward to your retirement also calls for your life to restart. I wish you all the Very Best. I told the other day to one person Life starts at sixty or after retirement.
Do continue with things you have adopted.
I wish You Good Health Dear.
Keep the Mantra repeating ‘I am Healthy’, ‘I am Healthy’, ‘I am Healthy’

I was able to spend two days in bed which my body needed the rest. Pain pills are not the best answer but enabled me to sleep. I look forward to retirement and free me time. Plus getting my health and life back. Thanks

Hello Shiva sir, how are you..I am very sure you must be good at overcoming your pain natural way.. during the last 1.5 years I had lot of mental stress which did give me some physical pain.. currently I am coping with it..

O Shilpa long time no news from you.
Past few months I have had some health issues. Yes I have been overcoming them my way. Thanks.
I understand the stress you have had. Give a befitting approach to it.
Wishing you Good Health Always

Wise advice dear Shiva. I also study the effect of food/nutrients on the body. For arthritis for instance, wheat and potatoes increase inflammation. White sugar, a big no-no too, for chronic conditions, but for your health in general too.
XxX

Ooh! Patty thanks so much.
Yes there are so many things that we could only know to keep the body intact and strong. You are right in suggesting the intakes. OMG wheat and potatoes a NO for arthritis .
God Save Us.
Blessings to YOU Patty💞
Shiva

Thanks for the beautiful share, Shiva and so much information too where one can go for therapy. Yes I totally agree with your words that living a beautiful life with less burden and understanding what is happening with your body and why is so true. Wishing u a healthy and safe life.

Ooh Kamal if we really understand our body and the influences on it, those that create hell,I am mean the pain and agony could be kept at distance by natural means.
Thanks for your wishes.
Wishing YOU Good Health Always💞

We must allow our brain and body to heal pain, trouble and suffering. Natural means are more effective in treating chronic illness and meditation plays a grand role in the treatment of mental disorders.
This article is beneficial to acquire good health and positive thinking. Brain learning of knowledge chapters should be prescribed in school system. Thank you.

Very well said, allowing or getting trained to heal pain, trouble and suffering to our Brain and Body would reduce much of our stress and happy living. But certain things are left to us, options are spread to choose from.
Thanks
I appreciate your idea of the Chapters which can be introduced and which shall influence children early in life.
Thanks once again.

There are so many great ways to help to heal the body/mind. The art is to find out which treatment is the fitting one. But when follow our gut feeling we will choose exactly what we need in that very moment… which can change.

Good advice Shiva. Thank you 🙏
When I call people’s attention to their body, I ask them to notice the sensations they feel, rather than the level of pain or discomfort. When we label something as “pain” it can bring more negative energy to it and keep us from becoming detached… and therefore free in our minds.

Val somehow I feel you have abruptly stop saying something so important, could you please elaborate in brief to our readers. I feel it is necessary to know a little more about it. Please do not not mistake,I think it is the first time I am asking someone to elaborate.
Thanks for your visit
Shiva

Thank you Shiva. What I am touching on is a difference between the accepted thinking in the West and non Dualistic thinking that arose in the East and Asia. Here in the USA, we think in terms of good and bad, right and wrong, happy and sad etc etc. Thus is dualist thinking. In the tradition of yoga that I learned, it’s about embracing the whole range between one end of the spectrum and the other. When we open our minds to everything in between one extreme and the other, we discover a whole range of feelings and adjectives that we were not aware of before.there is space between either or.
This is the place to be one more aware of. The in between. The subtlety. The details of sensations.
When we tune in with awareness, rather than adding a familiar label, we can expand our consciousness.

Val I could sense something that you had not mentioned but very much wanted or had left further saying so. But you have said frankly. Your approach to embrace the whole is a Great thought what the East has offered. How it influences on our day to day living…
The expansion of our consciousness effects or conditions.
Could you please in another few lines explain how this approach is effective in the present context of this particular Post.
Thanks a lot

Anne as you know it influences so much on our body and mind.
You have gone one step ahead to go somewhere in our mind and have the experience.
That is what we are able to do in meditation and other practices.
Thanks

Absolutely agree. Holistic means & Naturopathy could help in many ways. Not only physical pain, meditation can heal the mental pain too. Most of us know it but its very very difficult to follow. Its very important to have faith on these practices and confidence.

You have rightly said Reena first is to have faith in these.
Shraddha shall work out in bringing success into these practices.
Spread the word, I want many to practice this instead of going and spending money and wasting precious time in medical care.
Thanks
Shiva

An interesting post and a mantra I subscribe to…I am lucky so far I get A twinge now and again but no pain and I just go for a walk if I do..Walking frees my mind and you can feel so much around you when you walk just slowly if that is all you can do. Ginger is good if you have pain which needs a little help…But positive thoughts also banish those aches..A good post Shiva 🙂

Thanks Carol ma’am.
I am so glad of your visit to this post and shall be still more whenever you shall take time to visit my other posts too.
Yes you are so fortunate to not to have any pain. Touch wood, wishing you Good Health Always.
Yes walking also is also one most important tool. I had left to mention it although I keep walking on my terrace or take a stroll. I would never miss a swim having got a chance. The ginger part – there are many like that in every kitchen. We can call it as Home Remedies. I shall edit the post later during the day and add these you have mentioned. You are a woman having such enormous experience. Banishing those aches through positive thoughts is one Mantra to include.
Thanks again and wishing you Merry Christmas.
💞🙏
Shiva

Bless you and thank you for the follow Shiva.. I always say food should be your medicine I have a real phobia about tablet taking and always make my food from scratch..I like to know what it contains.. Merry Christmas 🙂 I am heading back over to your blog right now 🙂

Ma’am if you are on your desk top, I recommend you to see the menus Ponder, Poetry … you can choose by your likes.
Even I think I have that phobia.
Yes every thing that goes into our body has to be adjudged. Sometimes my wife gets irritated about that..😋
Blessings to you through the sky.
Happy reading.
I am to get ready for some work for which I am going out of town.
See you later during the day.
Regards💞👍
Shiva

I live with much pain in the body, due to the muscular, facia and skeletal effects of post polio syndrome. Over four decades I’ve found is that the worst pain is brought on by betrayal of love, and the least by hope of love’s presence.

By reading your comment I am deeply touched and couldn’t immediately respond.
I understand how it is with having all the pain in body and on top the betrayal of love.
The pains in the body are tolerable but the pain in heart…..
I hope you have been giving a different direction to all this. Turning the direction towards spirituality, the path would give much solace.
Thanks for sharing
Wishing all the very Best.
Shiva

You have written everything in a very precise manner! I remember how my father constantly speaks about increasing our immunity to decrease the reliability on medicines. Your explanation is so inspiring😊👌💖

Thanks Pragya! What Dad says is so true and important. Immunity is the military force we have in our, the more powerful it is the best. Medicines do not build our immunity, body has its own mechanism to build it. We have to give chance for it to build mainly through what we eat, exercise regularly, yoga and pranayama and other means mentioned above.
Always keep good health Pragya even mental health.
Stay Blessed Dear
💞
Shiva

Oooh that’s good.
I think mean while you can always read my older posts.
See to my Menu, it shall be seen if you are on desk top or Google chrome but not on WP App.
If you want poetry see poetry and photos menu, for prose to ponder see Ponder menu.
Always look to older posts of bloggers, even I do that. The efforts they would have put to create the Post is amazing.
As far as possible you read comments too on my posts, as many have contributed towards the Post. You will learn so many things as blogger and writer.
You seem to love your Dad very much, even I do. I lost him 2 years back. On the day of his death I wrote a poem on him within 5 mins when even the body was there. He was 86 when he left his body.
You may read
“I know you are the Soul… But”
My Regards and Respects to your Dad.
💞🌷
Shiva

Yes sir, I will surely check all of your old posts 😊 And, I know that it would be just worth my time and energy and would help my whole being to become a better person.😊
I am sorry to hear about your loss, sir🙁 I can’t put it in words🙁
I will definitely read “I know you are the Soul… but” .
And, you are very much like my dad😊😊

Hello Shiva,
Most pain I’ve experienced over the years has been in my heart – caused by people who deliberately set out to hurt or humiliate me. An effective remedy has been prayer, a change of attitude on my part, whole-hearted worship and laughter!
Whenever I need an immediate and fast-acting boost, I set up my own healing session by watching a few episodes of “Friends”. Works wonders! 😊 😁

Carol! I completely understand the pain you have undergone, since I have the same hurts in my heart. The remedy you have chosen is worthwhile.
Yes! Works Wonders.
I have written a Poem on this, you made me remember about it. Please do not misunderstand, if you want you can go through.
